Over the past year, we’ve experienced tremendous growth. More than 9,000 companies have replaced CVs with our assessments to screen candidates in an objective and data-driven way.
As we scale our efforts in 2023 and beyond, we’re looking for a Junior Recruiter & Operations Assistant (Assessment) who’s passionate about joining our quest to help people land their dream jobs.
- Helping shape a fast-growing HR tech startup as an early employee
- Fully remote position with bright, motivated, and friendly colleagues around the world
- Salary starting from €26,796 (based on experience and performance) + share appreciation rights (SARs) commiserate with an early employee
- Flexible hours and vacation
- Paid parental leave
- Remote working budget: €1,000 per year
- Learning and development budget: 3.5% of salary annually
This role sits within the Assessment Team (A-Team), a talented group of industrial and organizational psychologists, data and assessment scientists, psychometricians, researchers, academics, writers, and editors. The A-Team delivers leading edge, science-based assessment content, measurement insights and innovation. The Content and Science Squads within the A-Team develop and enhance TestGorilla’s core content, constructs, tests and reporting and continually strengthen the quality and scientific underpinnings of our tools. A-Team Operations enables this important work through project management and governance to simplify and optimize such activities as roadmap and pipeline management, prioritization, resourcing, and knowledge and stakeholder management.
Due to internal promotion, we are looking for an open-minded, tech-savvy professional to assist in the ongoing development of our assessment products. As a Junior Recruiter and Operations Assistant in the Assessment team, you will directly support the development of TestGorilla’s core offering: our assessments and test instruments. You will collaborate with cross-functional teams and interdisciplinary experts around the globe to enhance, innovate, scale and accelerate our assessment and test development.
In this role, you will be responsible for sourcing, screening and contracting with freelance subject-matter experts (SMEs) across all fields and industries, aligned to our roadmap prioritization. In partnership with our own Assessment Development Specialists, these SMEs create and review new content and intellectual property for TestGorilla, including content focused on cognitive ability, personality and culture, situational judgment, role-specific skills and specific job skills.
You will plan and execute outreach campaigns through various virtual channels and pre-qualify SMEs to present a shortlist to the A-Team Content squad. You will also build and maintain a larger network of SMEs who can act as consultants and independent reviewers across a wide range of industries and fields. Together with our Assessment Operations Specialist, you will also assist with day-to-day project management and operational tasks, including formatting and uploading our final test products to our live platform.
Our Assessment Team, and TestGorilla more broadly, is diverse and allows for additional opportunities to shape your contributions according to your interests and skills.
- Leading SME recruitment for the A-Team Content Squad including:
- Sourcing and recruiting SMEs from various fields to collaborate with us on the creation of our test instruments on a freelance basis.

- Conducting initial screening to deliver highly qualified SMEs to the content squad.

- Supporting the operational needs of the A-Team overall as needed, for example:
- Formatting and editing text, images, code and tables in line with our style guide for consistency and quality assurance purposes.
- Uploading finalized versions of our new or revised tests to our platform for customer use.
- Supporting vendor and freelancer contract and invoice administration.
- Managing the shared team calendar and team meetings and activities.

- You have strong attention to detail and organizational skills to keep work on track and to a high standard.
- You work well with others and can manage your projects asynchronously.

- You have a flexible, positive, can-do attitude, are a creative problem-solver, can anticipate needs and proactively work to accomplish individual and team goals.
- You are motivated by new challenges, breaking new ground, dealing with complexity, and you are willing to fail or try non-traditional approaches.
